Planning application

Holly Lane Energy Park

Decided Solihull PL/2023/00761/EIASCR EIA Screening Opinion

Decided. The decision notice on the council portal carries the outcome in full, including any conditions.

Proposal

EIA screening opinion for the development of a renewable energy development to be known as Holly Lane Energy Park. The development will occupy approximately 50ha of land split across two separate land parcels to the south and southeast of Balsall Common, Solihull, including a larger western parcel for the solar farm and a smaller eastern parcel for the battery energy storage system and substation. The Development will connect into the existing 132kV overhead powerline which crosses the eastern parcel of the Site. The two areas would be linked by an underground cable that would generally follow the shortest route in the public highway.
